Each competition will have slightly different rules that will be published each month, but these are the rules that go on the stone tablets:

-All alcoholic ingredients (including bitters, fortified wines, liqueurs) must be from the Vinum Importing’s spirits portfolio and available in Washington State.

-No ingredients can cost more than $60 wholesale per 750ml.

-No custom ingredients are allowed*: no infusions, no molecular mixology, no custom syrups or bitters.

-All alcoholic ingredients used in competition will be provided by Vinum Importing.

-Cocktails do not need to be originals. Feel free to submit classics or modern classics if you think you’ve hit upon the perfect combination. However, you MUST cite your cocktail’s progenitor or creator.
